Wrestlers may appear ruthless in their on-screen portrayals but they enjoy camaraderie with their peers. And when there is a significant age gap, there is bound to be a sense of mutual respect for the veterans. That was the case when a 30-year-old superstar did not care about his heel character to honor Rey Mysterio.

The Bloodline and Judgement Day agreed to a deal that would see both groups solve each other’s issues. Mysterio, who has regularly been a target of his son, would go against Solo Sikoa. The latter would go on to emerge victorious in the clash. However a heartfelt thank you by him toward the WWE Hall of Famer was caught on camera and won many hearts.

He is pretty agile in the squared circle and has been booked quite cleanly till now. The 249-pound performer has largely been protected from directly getting pinned in single competitions barring one time.

Sikoa definitely appears to be a future star for the WWE if he keeps operating at the level he has until now. Moreover, it’s hard to imagine that he has not even completed a year into his rookie year. It won’t be a surprise if The Bloodline’s Enforcer ends the year with gold around his waist.

The sports entertainment business can be quite taxing for many, but it’s essential to maintain the human touch. That’s what Solo Sikoa did with his thank you to the legendary Rey Mysterio after their intense matchup. It’s the sort of humility that is only found in stars and seems like WWE might have found their future main-eventer.
